A lot of Good writing on the Other Worlds, but man that combat is bad. Game has awful AI as well.
I'm a bit shocked it has than many sales.
That E3 trailer for OW 2 was fantastic though.
If this team doesn't drastically improve its combat and AI, it will be a waste.

Yes its negative and I disagree about the sales being a surprise simply because of the positive reviews and good word of mouth due to the writing, but for someone like me who enjoyed the game despite the gameplay due to that high calibre writing what he says rings true and if they can improve the combat the next game is going to be a real treat.
